This place is a true gem. I stayed here with my partner and 2 friends and had plenty of communal spaces to hang out in and bedrooms that were separated enough for privacy. Each bedroom has its own lockable door with a seperate key.
The downstairs bedroom is so spacious and ideal for a couple.
There is one large room upstairs that shares a bathroom with a smaller bedroom attached. The third bedroom is above the communal areas and private enough for sleeping but the closest bathroom and toilet is the shared one next to the kitchen downstairs. This was ok as we are a very close group.
Our hosts were so thoughtful leaving a birthday gift for me and were able to resolve a house key issue with lightening speed.
The area is amazing! In the mornings we woke up and bought (too much) food from the small market across the road. I recommend the rice porridge aka jok.
Just a short walk is the very designer shared space called Warehouse 30 where expert coffees and locally designed garments and homewares can be found.
We used the water taxi at Si Phraya near the Sheraton to get to Wat Arun and to the closest BTSstation, Saphan Thaksin. Scooters will take you there for 40 Baht if you want a thrilling experience on the road and from this station it’s a short journey to Siam Square or MBK.
We also used Grab to book taxis for our airport travels and for other journeys and drivers can find this place very easy even though it is nicely tucked away from the main roads.
By the 4th day we felt like locals of this very old area of BKK.
We can’t thank our hosts enough and I will definitely be recommending and staying here again when I come back in 2019 😊
